I suffer from this neglection I am the one who is forgotten As I stand here, it's crystal clear That this world has no more use for me Welcome to hell Welcome to me Welcome to my prison This misery is killing me Welcome to my hell I fear not death This is the testament of my final breath

Pulse is slow Eyes are weak No longer will I be meek Voices screaming in my head As I await the kiss of death All around me All that I see Pure misery Set me free You reach for my hand to save me, I evade This is my way out I must seize the day You reach for my hand to save me, I evade This is my way out, I must seize the day Just another wave In the hurricane of Hell Fallen to the dead mans spell Heart is ripped from my chest Pulse is slow Eyes are weak No longer will I be meek Voices screaming in my head As I await the kiss of death I give in to my insanity Making me weak Future is untold Chaos begins to unfold You reach for my hand to save me, I evade This is my way out, I must seize the day You reach for my hand to save me, I evade This is my way out, I must seize the day Just another wave In the hurricane of Hell Fallen to the dead mans spell Heart is ripped from my chest Pulse is slow Eyes are weak No longer will I be meek Voices screaming in my head As I await the kiss of death

No Cure for a Ghost 02:56
lyrics

Stretched across the pavement The ruts pierce my skin The dying name that fuels my veins Is anything but soft Stuck on a bus with no direction Praying that it stops There’s no cure for a ghost like me But a million reasons to set me free If I can't shake this I can't explain What's happened to me Empty shells do not repel The damage it has done to me I tried and I missed it I never should have fucked with this I'm left screaming (Make this all okay) I’m stuck tossing and turning While my sweat is cold as ice My hot mouth dries My veins collapse As I wait for time to elapse I cannot say I like this But I need it more and more I'm left walking dead I'm screaming (Make this all okay) I lye in my cage Drowning my mind Diluting the fact That I'm sitting on my grave A dishonorable death No one has arrived They're right not to care The truth they wouldn’t bear All is wasted We're all defeated Acceptance is cheated As the creature lies infected But I still cannot reject it We’re all waiting Contemplating The casualties to this disease I'm left screaming (Make this all okay) If I can't shake this I can't explain What's happened to me Empty shells do not repel The damage it has done to me I tried and I missed it I never should have fucked with this What’s left at the sight Is my corpse staring down at me Stretched across the pavement The ruts pierce my skin The dying name that fuels my veins Is anything but soft Stuck on a bus with no direction Praying that it stops There’s no cure for a ghost like me But a million reasons to set me free

Pick Your Poison 03:57
lyrics

Just close your eyes I feel the hand of death closing my eyes Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Sprawled out across the floor tonight There is no more of your petty excuses or lies My heart was battered and bruised It's all because of you I'm broken, left black and blue Sever the ties that held us together under jet black skies on this tainted night I'm left conflicted, constricted My soul forever wicked A bastard stricken with remorse A shell is all that's left of my existence Turn the blade crimson My last resort Kicked when down and left to die Revenge is sought under tainted sky Deep inside this twisted mind Is a blackened past that leaves me blind Don't hunt what you can't kill Hate in my eyes, fire at will Feel my heart, my loves drowning wrath Damn me to hell so I never come back (Pick your poison) I'll let you make the choice (With your last breath) I'll let you use your voice (Pick your poison) Decide your own demise (Let it rain red) On this tainted night Now the charade is over No longer am I sober enough to mend all the scars I've always known deep down just how much of a worthless disgusting piece of fuck you are Your neck will break Your blood will spill for all the living in sin you've committed Razor embraces your flesh Your life is slipping away With my hands wrapped around your neck Pick your poison (Pick your poison) Kicked when down and left to die Revenge is sought under tainted sky Deep inside this twisted mind Is a blackened past that leaves me blind Don't hunt what you can't kill Hate in my eyes, fire at will Feel my heart, my loves drowning wrath Damn me to hell so I never come back

Harlot's Curse 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Tears I shed, drown my sorrow For today, there's no tomorrow Look at me with bloodshot eyes This ends tonight Free by mind, guilt by life Deprived of your rights, this ends tonight Shut your whore mouth, save the lies No more words can make things right Plagued with a harlot's curse I'll put you in the dirt Hear me as I sing my refrain (Your name) Just another contradiction Stricken with your own affliction A pathetic walking obscenity I'll end your infinity Enmity, fuels my rage Lies spew out, fuel my hate A deadbeat, to the bone Taste defeat, left to loathe Free by mind, guilt by life Deprived of your rights, this ends tonight Shut your whore mouth, save the lies No more words can make things right Plagued with a harlot's curse I'll put you in the dirt Hear me as I sing my refrain (Your name) Just another contradiction Stricken with your own affliction A pathetic walking obscenity I'll end your infinity

Schizophrenic War 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Which of my options is best Which side do I take Why do I feel like I’m sleeping when I am clearly awake Evil infesting my brain Sanity is not fair game Trapped between a moral split and I don’t know which side is right Roll the dice It’s always snake eyes There is no true winner here Grab the bottle bottoms up and make my problems disappear All of my peers had deceived me Evil came and it set me free Look at me down your broken nose I'll forgive you when hell has froze No remorse and no confliction Dementia has come to stay Signed to a deal that wields a debt that I can not repay Look into the clearest mirror I see so many of me Looking for the prototype but all that’s left is the debris Relentlessly we will fight this schizophrenic war Good or bad will conquer all with one left to adorn Ardent creatures fighting over my polluted soul How much fight is left in me before I start to fold All of my peers had deceived me Evil came and it set me free Look at me down your broken nose I'll forgive all of you when hell has froze Trapped inside this paradox Arguments spark my demise This will be the end of my wretched and sadistic life Follow me to victory where evil will be overcome These demons won’t leave my soul This bickering has made me numb Good has triumphed, game is over No more do I have to run Finally a horizon is visible from the rising sun No more evil in my heart, clean for all eternity Sad to think that my own death was the only way to set me free All of my peers had deceived me Evil came and it set me free Look at me down your broken nose I'll forgive all of you when hell has froze Relentlessly we had fought the schizophrenic war It took death and lots of blood to finally set the score You control me, you will hold me now for never more I have lost my life during the schizophrenic war

Tribulations Part 1 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I get a chilling clutch on my reality I want my freedom Pray for something to numb my pain I want to leave here I want to die here I'm crying for help Pray for death to come my way I realize my fate filled me with this hate Break my shackles and save me from self loathing All these empty bottles have sealed my fate Storm the gates of hell Shadows will fall There is no hope Come with me and see Did I ever live When will I awake Help me find the key Is there a way out of the hell that I’m living Will I ever get my fucking life back Is there a way out of the hell that I’m living Will I ever have the strength to leave it Look into a mirror Fate becoming clearer Hate my own reflection Trapped inside a life of deception Should I end it all Life in a freefall In a twist of fate I am consumed by these tribulations Is there a way out of the hell that I’m living Will I ever get my fucking life back Is there a way out of the hell that I’m living Will I ever have the strength to leave it
